Members of the Arkansas Tech University Brass Choir and Trombone Choir performed at the St. Benedict Church at Subiaco Abbey on Tuesday, March 12.

Dr. Gary Barrow is conductor for the University Brass Choir, while the Trombone Choir is conducted by Dr. Sean Reed.

“The acoustics at Subiaco are unique and provide opportunities for brass instruments to sound quite different than in any other setting found in this part of the country,” said Barrow, professor of music at Arkansas Tech. “Of historical significance is the fact that some of the earliest music composed for brass ensembles was performed in a very similar acoustical setting.”
